Suspect in Dutch filmmaker's murder makes dramatic court room confession
The man accused of killing Dutch filmmaker Theo van Gogh confessed to a Dutch court that he acted out of his religious beliefs, saying he would do "exactly the same" if he were ever set free.
"I take complete responsibility for my actions. I acted purely in the name of my religion," 27-year-old Dutch-Moroccan national Mohammed Bouyeri told the court in Amsterdam on the final day of his trial.
Prosecutor Frits van Straelen demanded a life sentence for Bouyeri for killing Van Gogh on an Amsterdam street on November 2, 2004. He recalled the particular brutality of the murder in broad daylight saying Bouyeri not only shot Van Gogh 15 times but also stabbed him and finally slit his throat.
According to the prosecutor the murder of Van Gogh, an outspoken columnist who often criticised Islam and the multi-cultural society, deeply shocked Dutch society.
The killing which happened in plain view of more than 50 witnesses while the filmmaker was cycling to work stoked ethnic tensions and sparked a wave of reprisal attacks primarily directed at the Muslim community here.
In addition to a life sentence, the prosecution also demanded that Bouyeri be stripped of his right to vote or stand for election for the rest of his life, "to literally place him outside of our democracy".
After the prosecution's closing statement Bouyeri, who had refused to say anything about his motives during the trial, took the opportunity to make a final statement.
"I can assure you that one day, should I be set free, I would do exactly the same, exactly the same," he said, speaking slowly in sometimes halted Dutch.
He said he felt an obligation to Van Gogh's mother Anneke, present in court, to speak, but offered no sympathy.
"I have to admit I do not feel for you, I do not feel your pain, I cannot I don't know what it is like to lose a child," he said as Van Gogh's family and friends looked on.
"I cannot feel for you ... because I believe you are an infidel," he added.

I don't think explanations are necessary. It's obvious.
Since Spielberg hired Cruise to act in WOTW, it's crystal clear that Spielberg is now a converted, frothing-mouth $cinentologist, bent on the subjugation of the entire world (or universe, or whatever) to the cult of $ciento

[nq:1]Well, as persistently numbskullish as you generally manage to be, you might be onto something, given that Kate Capshaw apparently had "auditing" at the Celebrity Centre.[/nq]
Ah, so you've managed to sow seeds of doubt and dissension in the evil Spielberg/Cruise cabal. Good work, Skip!
[nq:1]But then Cruise screwed up and made Spielberg mad because there's a little kerfuffle over one

[nq:1]Dale, you're really not very clever, hate to say. Hahaha, caused by the $cientologists. It's like being jeered at by a divorcing Neanderthal in a beer joint at Friday 11:30 who's just spent his paycheck.[/nq]
Skip, why don't you try restating whatever the **** it is you think you wrote when you're sober.

[nq:1]Nobody's inspected some places in Syria yet,[/nq]
At some point you should consider taking a vacation from Neocon La La Land. The WMDs aren't there. Even Bush has ceased flogging that dog.
Meanwhile we've got a CIA agent "outed" and it appears that Bush's buddy Rove was involved in the outing. Not a good thing.
